Abstract

ABSTRACT
A vibrating device having a mass rotated about a first shaft while the first shaft is rotated about a second shaft.

Description

.

:. The present invention relates to vibrating devices and more particularly but not exclusively-to vi~rating devices for ploughs.
It is desirable when applying a vibrating force to the frame of a plough, as well as other pieces of equipment, that a component of the vibration force be aligned in a particular direction, or number of directions.
It is also desirable for the device to ~e compact and provide a large vibra-. tion force for its size and weight.
~. In devices which employ centripetal forces to supply a vibration ;............. it can be seen that since the centripetal force = mrw2; where m is the mass - 10 of the object being rotated, r is the radius of rotation and w is the . angular velocity of the object; the method of increasing the vibration force without increasing the size and weight of the device is to increase the angular velocity.
Keeping the above in mind the present invention provides a vibrating device comprising a housing, a rotatable first shaft supported by and located in said housing, a first and a second mass to be rotated within said housing to vibrate the device, first means mounting each of the masses on said first . shaft at positions radially spaced from the axis of said first shaft, said first means including an arm fixed to said first shaft and having two
2~ radially opposite sections, which sections extend radially outwardly from ~: said first shaft in opposite directions, a second shaft rotatably attaching said first mass to a radially outer portion of one of said sections so that . the centre of gravity of said first mass is radially spaced from the axis ~:~ said second shaft, a third shaft rotatably attaching said second mass to . a radially outer portion of the other section to said one section so that ~ the centre o:E gravity of said second mass is radially spaced from the axis .~ o~ sa:id third shaft, and second means to rotate said first mass about the axis of said second shaft and said second mass about -the axis of said third ', ' ': ' ' . . . ;: , ' .: .

~ 6~96 described by way of example with reference to the accompanying : drawings wlnerein:
Fig. 1 is a sectioned plan view of a vibrating device ;...
- embodying the presen-t invention;
Fig. 2 is a part :Eront eleva-tion of the device of : Fig. l;
Fig. 3 is a part front elevation of a further embodiment of .~ the present invention and ; Fig. 4 is a sectioned plan view of the device of Fig. 3.
, 10 The embodiment.of Figs. 1 and 2 develops a vibration ~i force by rotating the mass 22 about the longitudinal axis of , shaft 21 as well as about the longitudinal axis of shaft 18.
' Additionally, a centripetal force also results from the rotation of arms 19 about the longitudinal axis of shaft 18, but this cen-tripetal force is small compared with the two centripetal forces supplied by the rotation of mass 22.
' rrhe vibrating device 10 depicted has a sp;it housing -. of three parts 11, 12 and 20 secured together by bolts 13, of which not all are illustrated. Supported by bearings 14 and 15, located in bearing supports 16 and 1~, is the drive shaft 18 -to which is fixed radially extending arms 19. Extending ,~' hetween the arms 19 is the shaft 21 which rotatably supports the gear 23 and mass 22 fixed thereto. The gear 23 is in ~` meshing engagement with the internal gear 24 which is fi~ed I C ~ 56 Q ~ 6~Y;
relative to the housing 20~c~e~e~tL~ by rotating the arms 1~ ~he gear 23 and mass 22 revolve about the shaft 18 in a planetary motion. It should be noted that with the present arrangement the ratio of the diameters of gears 23~and 24 is . approximately 1 to 3, thus the angular velocity of gear 23 about its longitudinal axis is three times the angular velocity .~ - 3 -.~ ~

By altering the ratio of the two gears 23 and 24 as :~ well as the starting positions of the various rotating parts, . the direction of maximum force is determined as well as its ~ magnitude, given a predetermined angular velocity for shaft -~ 18. A position of maximum force is illustrated in Fig. 2 ~, while a position of minimum force is illustra-ted by the dashed lines.
. . .
The above described embodiment has several drawbacks in that the full capacity of the device is not utilised, while probably the most prominent drawback is that an oscillating torque is applied to the drive shaft 18. The oscillating torque is the result of the mass 22 moving toward and away from shaft 18 and the fact that its angular momentum will - remain constant if not acted upon by an outside force. As the mass 22 moves toward the shaft 18 it will try to accelerate the shaft 18 in an attempt to increase its angular velocity in an attempt to maintain its angular momentum. Additionally the : mass 22 will apply an alternating positive and negative torque -to -the shaEt 18 due to the centripetal force, created by its ro-ta-tion about shaft 21, acting at a radius from the shaft 18.
To avoid an oscillating torque being applied to shaft 18 and thus substantially isolate the drive from any ill-e.EEects thereof, -the above embodiment has been modified to . provide the embodiment of Fig. 3.
,` Referring now -to Figs. 3 and 4 wherein the elements .~ of the vibrating device 100 which are the same as the elements of the device 10 of Figs. 1 and 2 have been given the same ..

6~96 - reference n~mbers, lt can be seen -tha~ -the ~rms 101 are 6~
ovided at t-~ ex-tremities with two gears 102 and 103 and -two ~ aSses 104 and 105 attached respectively to the tWo gearS 102 and 103. The gears 102 and 103 are in meshing engagement with the gear 108 and are rotatably suppor-ted by shafts 106 and 107.
With this arrangement clockwise rotation of arms 101 at a conStant angular velocity cauSes clockwise rotation Of both masses 104 and 105 via gears 102 and 103, and since the masses 104 and 105 are in phase the total angular momentum of the moving assembly consisting of the arms 101, gears 102 and 103, and masses 104 and 105 remains substantially constant.
Additionally, the centripetal forces created by the masses 104 and 105 rotating about shafts 106 and 107 apply torques to shaft 18 in opposite directions, thus cancelling out. However, it should be appreciated that the arms 101 are subjected to a bending moment about the longitudinal axis of shaft 18 as a result of the individual changes in angular momentum of the masses 104 and 105. The gear ratio is approximately 1 to 3.
i; Thus the embodiment of Fig. 3 provides a vibrating device which is smoother in operation than the embodiment of Figs. 1 and 2 provided that the masses 104 and 105 are equal.
; The embodlments o~ Figs. 1 to 4 are only two examples of devices which incorporate the present invention, accordingly it should be appreciated that the invention is not limited to o~
any particular gear ratlo, or number of masses or gears,tphase relationship of the masses, and further that the location o~
the gears is not restricted to the particular embodiments since the gear 108 could just as easily be rotated in addition to, or instead of, shaft 18.
